Hi Insiders!
We're now bringing Office 365 groups to Outlook for Mac – it is currently available to Insiders and Production users! (Blog Post) With the first update, you can view your top 10 groups in the folder pane and read/compose/reply to group conversations. We are continually adding new capabilities, and you will see them in future updates.
For those who are not familiar with Office 365 groups, it is a service developed with collaboration in mind. It works with the Office 365 tools you use already so you can collaborate with your teammates when writing documents, creating spreadsheets, working on project plans, scheduling meetings, or sending email. Groups in Outlook for Mac falls under the first pillar and V1 release will enable users to engage with group members right from the group’s inbox and view group conversations with full history without leaving the app. For more info, refer to this page.
If you’re already a member of a group, Groups will automatically appear in the left navigation pane. But if you’re not a member of any groups, join one through Outlook on the Web (Join a Group in Outlook).
Feedback?
Thanks for your continued support!

Hello, I am having the same issue. I have an Office 365 subscription through the company I work for but in Outlook under About Outlook is says Volume License. I followed the steps above, signing out of the account in Word, restarting and signing back in but it still says Volume License in Outlook.
Hi, just sent you a message on how to reset your subscription.
Hello,
Similar to Franzo, I work on a education campus and when signed in using the education office 365 account groups are not visible within Outlook for Mac. Outlook for Mac states "License: Volume License" under Outlook > About outlook. We have attempted to logout, restart and log back in and that does not resolve the issue.
When logged into the web app, groups are displayed under the inbox, so the users are subscribed to groups and the groups are Office365 groups.
Any help you could provide would be great.
thanks,
A.
The ONLY type of license that will have the new Groups feature is an Office 365 subscription. If you see anything other than "Office 365 Subscription" in the About Outlook dialog when you go to the Outlook menu and and choose About Outlook, then your copy of Outlook is not logged in as an Office 365 subscription.
If you are positive your organization has you listed as an Office 365 user, then you should check to make sure you are logged in under your organization's Office 365 account using the username and password they gave you. Sometimes people install Office using some other license and didn't realize they have to log out of that license and log into the Office 365 license.
Here's how to see how you are logged in (have your Office 365 username and password handy before starting this):
Just sent you a private message.
Thanks!
